The National Weather Service predicts that southeast Mississippi could experience winds in excess of 100 mph, and hurricane winds will extend as far north as Columbus. At least 4 to 6 inches of rainfall is expected across the eastern half of Mississippi. There is a risk of tornadoes statewide. The Gulf Coast could experience up to a 30-foot storm surge and possible Category 5 strength winds.

Anyone who lives in a mobile home south of Interstate 20 should seek shelter elsewhere during Hurricane Katrina. There are 42 shelters open and an additional 39 shelters are on standby if needed.

The Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson is a Red Cross shelter. The Red Cross has a reception center at the Madison Wal-Mart parking lot, located just off Exit 108 of Interstate 55. A complete Red Cross shelter list is available on MEMA's Web site at www.msema.org.
